I am looking for information about my grandpas dad. My grandpa's name was Frederick Lewis Gallman from Adelaide. His father was named Frederick Gallman too. He was born about 1878 and died on the 21st Jan 1924. His wife was Edith Rebecca Gray born 4 Nov 1884 in Magill, SA.
I know Frederick Gallman was raised by a different family, however he did not take their name and kept Gallman. I have no idea where he was born, how his family arrived in South Australia.
Any help please.

Thanks for searching for me.
This is the one part of our family tree that is a mystery. We have no idea who his parents were, or even if Gallman was his birth name. My mother is a Gallman and they can only record the family back as far as Edith and Frederick.
I think we have lost the information over time with the passing of our ancestors that might have know the information.
Thanks again

Hello :)
A Fridel Gallman (German for Frederick) arrived via Potosi May 1881 .
PROV does not list which port he disembarked. the steamer was ex London to Adelaide, Melbourne 11 May 1881 and NSW.
He was aged 37, travelling alone. 3rd class passenger
PROV passenger list B390 p007 (Foreign) may have further details re occupation and place of birth.
I would search for a subsequent marriage and births in NSW and Victoria of this Fridel or Friedel Gallman.
Good Luck :)

Could be nothing but wonder if this is worthy of investigation ...
The South Australian Advertiser, Saturday 7 July 1883
POLICE COURT-ADELAIDE
Fritz Gallman, charged with being a neglected child, was sent to the Industrial School until sixteen years of age
'Fritz' can be a nickname for 'Frederick'? looks as if an Industrial School (not sure if the industrial school) was in Magill (same suburb where his eventual wife lived?)

Thanks for finding this information. I think this Fridel Gallman would be to old to be the Frederick Gallman I am looking for. From the headstone at Magill, Frederick was 46 years old when he passed which means he was born abt 1878.
Thanks heaps. I'll keep this information just incase it fits into my family history elsewhere.

Thanks so much. This could be the person I am looking for. My mother has told me that Frederick lived with another family (which would suggest he was from an orphanage or something). This information would have made him 5 years old when charged with neglect.
I'll discuss this with my mum and see if it brings back any memories that she has of this maybe happening.
Thanks again.

Re him living with another family, you might find this article 'care for dependent children in SA', and excerpt, interesting:
"The children could be boarded-out with subsidy (up to five shillings a week) to foster parents; they could be adopted, they could be placed without subsidy; they could be licensed for service if over twelve years of age; placed with relatives, including parents, or apprenticed to a trade"

Best of luck with your search, it would be great to hear if you do make any progress

My mum thinks he lived with a family called 'Chapman' somewhere on the Yorke Peninsula. So it is likely he was adopted or in foster care with them.
I have asked another one of my uncles if he has any extra information. I'll let you know what I find.
Thanks

Hi,
Is it possible that Frederick Gallman (as Married to Edith Rebecca Gray) lived with Amos & Anne Honeywill?
They share a family grave in Magill Cemetry (Plot 597 section B) and the dates seem to match....I have a photo of the plot / headstones.
I'm a distant relative of Amos who was born in Devon (England)

Hiya,
In my thirties and finally getting around to my family tree. Had a bit of a search for my Great Grandpop and this came up.
INSANITY. The info you've all shared made things simpler for me. Thank you people.
Original poster, your Grandfather was my Great Grandpop's (Arthur Vernon) elder brother by a year. He only passed away 2005, so we all knew him very well.
If you're still looking for info, let me know and I'll ask my Grandmother or Uncle.
Thanks again everyone.

Hi
Any news on the Gallmans would be great. Have many family members searching for any news. Some have passed away while trying, so hope I can find any missing links (good or bad). Have found one or two secrets recently. Any news of Frederick Gallman (married Edith Rebecca Gray) would be great if you have any.
Thanks
